Serendipity Flow...


I've been meaning to do a write- up of the Kid Daytona for quite some time now. This is one "kid" who's doing his thing and needs more people to notice. Right now, I hear all the opponents trying to claim his styles recycled maybe even borrowed. Well I can honestly quell all of these thoughts. Daytona is a throwback to more lyrical rappers such as Mos Def and Talib Kweli, or even Curren$y (little different, but still lyrical). Just listen to the production value on Daytona's mixtapes. Now granted all my readers know I am an established backpack rap fan. But the fact remains you don't have to be a gangster or fake gangster for that matter to make good music or sell records. We as listeners need to rally behind rappers like Daytona and help them revive the dying genre that is rap music. In addition to bringing a lot to the table himself he also works with a few established artists. Such as Bun B, Double-O, and 6th Sense. To get yourself started on some Daytona I suggest first downloading "Come Fly With Me" followed by his previous EP "the Daytona 500". Songs to start off with include but aren't limited to: Air Born, Flava Season, The Pit Crew, and The Wings.

Get Some.

Hip- Hop With Soul... Or A Breath of Fresh Air(Take It In)...


After hearing Common's last release I was seriously doubting whether rappers like Talib Kweli had clout in the game anymore. But oh how wrong I was, and in this case I am ecstatic about being wrong. Talib and Hi-Tek just put out another Reflection Eternal Album called Reflection Eternal (the RE: Union) and after just finishing it I am thoroughly impressed. The truth is I feel like these two artists have been pretty stagnant in the rap game while others are just desecrating the paths they paved. Well here's the 'RE: Union' literally. With only one listen under my belt I can already tell this tape has numerous listens in store for me. So drop whatever your doing (seriously) dl this tape and give it a listen ASAP, because it's got mass appeal from Hip- Hop heads to radio junkies.
